Iraq Deployment Impaired Katrina Relief, Say Americans
http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/8983

(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Many adults in the United States think their government’s commitment to the coalition effort affected the response to Hurricane Katrina, according to a poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates for the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. 48 per cent of respondents believe the U.S. does not have enough military forces to fight effectively in Iraq and still respond to domestic crises.

Hurricane Katrina hit the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama on Aug. 29. Officials believe thousands of residents may have died as a result of the storm and its aftermath.

On Sept. 2, U.S. president George W. Bush dismissed criticism about devoting too many resources to the coalition effort in Iraq in detriment of the victims of the natural disaster, saying, "We’ve got a job to defend this country and the war on terror, and we’ve got a job to bring aid and comfort to the people of the Gulf Coast, and we’ll do both. We’ve got plenty of resources to do both."
